If you're in California and enjoy this sort of thing, the Bristlecone pines near Mammoth Lakes are the oldest trees in the world. I'm not religious but to me, visiting them is almost sacred.
- throwawaysea 5y agoI haven’t seen the bristlecones but I get what you mean. I get the same feeling of sacredness when I visit old trees elsewhere like the redwoods, or when I see majestic large animals like whales (although they are much younger).

The oldest tree in the world lived there until a guy cut it down in 1964, making the new oldest tree the one in California. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_trees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_trees
